I bent the insert on the drive and it work?

\015 The part of the flash drive that goes into the computer plug in was bent a little, and is now not reading(or not working)\015\012\015\012i was wondering if i can get it fixed, to work again with everthing still saved on it?\015

Answers :

I would first try it in a different computer. If it does not work on the other computer it is unlikely it would work anywhere. It is possible you can take it to a local computer tech service and they can try and read or fix it, but I would think it is unlikely.

If it does work on the other computer I would inspect the USB port for damage on your computer. Or the place where you plug in the flash drive into the computer, if it looks at all damaged, I would contact the manufacture for repair. You can also try other usb devices to check if it still works.

As well if the flash drive does work on other computers, and there is no visible damage to the USB port, or plug in spot, then there may be a driver or software issue on your computer.

Disc drive ejects blank discs...plays dvds

I have an Acer Aspire One 10.1. The past few days, everytime I try to turn it on, it brings up a black screen with these words: No rebootable device found--please insert boot disk and press any key. This netbook does not have a cd-rom in it. What do I need to do to get it working and re-booted again?

First I would make sure the hard drive is properly attached. Turn the power off, flip the computer over, and remove the hard drive panel. It should be the largest panel on the bottom, with two tiny Phillips head screws holding it. Under that panel, y ...
